The discipline of a profession (overview)

The discipline is the same for every profession: To consistentlyidentify, specify, design and deliver the right product for the right price. What is different for every profession are the tools and techniques applied to each of those steps and how long it takes to acquire the starting point knowledge. For example, a doctor has to study longer than an accountant and the range of tools a doctor uses is much larger than an accountant. But for this overview, we will look only at the way the discipline of the profession applies to accountants, lawyers, doctors and technical communicators.
